When the mirror lies: The transgender journey

Listen

The tragic death of a transgender teen in Ohio brings to our attention the alienation and pain transgender individuals face. Lee Ann Etscovitz shares her story living much of her life as a man and finally becoming the woman she was meant to be. We’ll also talk with Dr. Rob Winn and Elaine Dutton from the Mazzoni Center here in Philadelphia about new treatments, family support and help for medical professionals caring for transgender individuals. Plus, ways to help schools create a positive environment for students with gender non-conforming and identity issues.
